You Don’t Need All the Answers. You Need Better Questions (and a Strong Spine)

Leadership, we’re told, is about vision. About decisiveness. About walking into a room and speaking in full sentences that end with “Let’s take this offline.”

But if we’re being honest, and we absolutely aren’t… most leadership decisions are made using a complex blend of gut feel, PowerPoint confidence, and whatever phrase McKinsey published last quarter.

The real problem isn’t that leaders don’t have all the answers. It’s that many of them don’t even have the questions. Just vibes. And a spine made of warm sponge.

Somewhere along the corporate journey, leadership became confused with omniscience.

Understand why nobody turns their camera on in meetings

All while nodding thoughtfully and saying things like “I’ve been thinking about this a lot.” They haven’t.

Why the creative team keeps asking “why” instead of “how high?”

Leadership isn’t about knowing everything. If it were, Google would be the CEO and we’d all report to a search bar.
